Holmes County EMS had a great time in Ponce de Leon today teaching CPR to local students!

Summer led the class and did an awesome job walking everyone through CPR. She had plenty of help from EMS crew members Jordan, Kendra, Jenna, Brandon, and EMS Director Steve Connell, who all jumped in to help students practice and feel confident with their skills.

We’re so proud of these students for taking the time to learn something that truly saves lives. You never know when you might need to step in and help! Thanks to everyone who made today such a success.
